Tel Aviv, Jan 25 : Four Israeli hostages released by Hamas in the Gaza Strip were handed over to the Israel Defence Forces and Israel Security Agency (ISA) forces on Saturday, the IDF announced.
Hamas-run broadcaster Al Aqsa reported earlier in the day that the movement had handed over four Israeli women to Red Cross representatives in Gaza City’s Palestine Square.
“The four returning hostages are currently being accompanied by IDF special forces and ISA forces on their return to Israeli territory, where they will undergo an initial medical assessment. The commanders and soldiers of the Israel Defence Forces salute and embrace the returning hostages as they make their way home to the State of Israel,” the IDF said in a statement.
